Tiffany blue (is there any other?)

There is one instantly recognisable colour: Tiffany blue.  How exciting is it when you are given a gorgeous package in that colour?  There is no doubt what is in that box, it's going to be something beautiful and fab.  Imagine surrounding yourself with that colour?  I've been having a look at what is out there in this colour (and trying to see where I could use it in my own home - of course!)


I also discovered an amazing website www.colourlovers.com.  You can go onto this website and create and share your own colour palette using their on-line 'create a palette' tool.

Stylish (and comfortable) home offices

I opened a Tweet this week and up popped a link to some images of beautiful home offices.  So that got me thinking; you really only need a small space to make your own home office.  My office at home is around 6' x 6' and at the moment is crammed to the ceiling.  Some serious clearing out is required, and in this day of a paperless office the stuff I keep is a piece of nonsense.  I recently decorated the top floor room of the house for my daughter's wedding.  So that she could use it a dressing and make up room on the day.  I'm now thinking I may tidy up my act and move my office up there.  I am totally inspired by the images below, especially the one with the beautiful pale blue Armoire.  I have an Armoire like this in my dining room, hmmm I wonder if I cant get it up two flights of stairs into my 'new' office?  (Ha ha, I know what my husband will say to that idea and it is two letters and starts with an N!)

I hope you're as inspired as I've been.  I'll also keep you posted on how my office move goes.......


My favourite one is below









I love the wallpapered ceiling below
